I love cosleeping so I'm not worried about stopping yet. My older 2 kids began the process of starting in their own bed at about 2...but would come in our bed in the middle of the night when they woke up. By 3-4 they were staying in their bed all night.

Present!! My 3 year old still sleeps with us. We have a family bed. I am waiting till my kids want to sleep on their own. Right now my 3 year old is scared of the dark so she's not ready. My DH and I enjoy the extra cuddle time because they aren't going to want to cuddle much later and it flies by.

I'm in no rush either BUT we have always put her in the crib for naps and when we're not in the bed at the beginning of the night. My others also slept with us until about 1 1/2- 2 yo. When they were walking and I could establish a bed time routine that they could be proactive in. You can establish a routine now and do little spans of time in the crib. I put Logan in her crib to clean my room or put laundry away. She has a toy that's strapped to the side and it's never a scary or alone space and mommy's right there.

We transitioned DS to his crib in his room at 7 months. I loved cosleeping, but he just wanted his own space. He would flop around and push against me then it would wake him up and I was constantly nursing him back to sleep.

Anyway, we started with the pack and play in our room next to the bed- right next to it so it was like he was still cosleeping. Then we switched to naps during the day in his crib. After a week or so of napping in his crib, playing in his room during wake times, we switched the night time routine to his room.

It took a few nights of going in every 3-5 minutes until he fell asleep, but now he's fine in his room. Up to nurse2x per night, but goes to sleep fine and naps fine.

We still co-sleep and I'm working on getting him to nap in the crib. Once that's going well I will start putting him to bed in the crib, for at least the first part of the night. We want to have another baby in a year so I hope to have him in his own bed by then.

We cosleep half the night. Goes down on his crib at 7:30 then when he wakes to nurse anywhere from 12:30-2:30 I just bring him in bed with me. Honestly I don't know when we will stop, I love the cuddles so I don't think it will be anytime soon.

Still cosleeping. He starts the night in his crib one or two nights a week. I would like to get him starting the night there every night soon. We will move him to DD's room sometime after 1 after he's done night nursing. We may keep him with us until he weans.

DD got "kicked out" at 10m when she started crazy sleeping and I couldn't deal with it. I tried most method and eventually did Ferber/CIO. She slept alone until 2.5y when LO was born and she got jealous. DH cosleeps with her in her bed. Now he's getting more in the habit of just laying with her while she falls asleep then coming back to our bed.

We still co sleep here as well but LO has been napping in his crib for a few months now. Also some mornings he'll wake up super early and can't seem to get settled so I put him back in the crib and he's right back to sleep for a couple more hours. I guess we'll transition fully after he stops the night nursing.. Maybe around 1 or 2. I don't imagine it'll be too terribly difficult given how familiar he is with his crib and room now but I'm not in a rush! :-)
